Not to get all band geeky, but you might change your mind on that if you saw the entire performance live. The slow introspective parts allow the Pride to finish a formation and meet in the center of the field in a multilayered circle facing in. Then, they all turn in unison and the horns blast out to the crowd and everyone goes nuts. Youtubes don't do it justice but here's one from the 2006 Sugar Bowl (WVU 38 - Georgia 35!!!) that is pretty good:

Finally, it's going to be chilly in the morning and warmer, but almost certainly, raining during the game. We may get the pre-game tailgate in before the rain starts but the post-game one is probably a wash (no pun intended). Dress appropriately.
